About the role
- Lead the Platform Transformation: Drive the strategic shift from 'Ticket-Ops' to an API-first, self-service reality, modernizing legacy systems and defining clear sunsetting paths for deprecated infrastructure
- Define and deliver a unified platform roadmap that treats internal developers as customers, using feedback loops and user research to build tools they want to use
- Architect and maintain 'paved roads', highly automated, opinionated workflows that simplify the journey from code to production while maintaining security and compliance
- Own the environment lifecycle across multiple CSPs (AWS, Azure, GCP), driving adoption of GitOps, Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC), and declarative automation
- Deliver a centralized Developer Portal (e.g., Backstage) to provide a 'single pane of glass' for CI/CD, documentation, and cloud resources
- Lead engineering teams in implementing SRE practices, utilizing error budgets and blame-free post-mortems to balance velocity with stability
- Integrate security and compliance guardrails directly into automation so that the secure way is always the easiest way for developers
- Foster a culture of contribution where engineers across Boeing can contribute to the platform’s codebase, breaking down silos and accelerating innovation
- Measure performance through DORA metrics and Developer Net Promoter Score (NPS) to ensure the platform is increasing enterprise velocity
